Facebook: The Missing Manual
Facebook is the wildly popular, free social networking site
that combines the best of blogs, online forums, photo
sharing, clever applications, and interaction among friends.
The one thing it doesn't have is a user's guide to help you
truly take advantage of it. Until now. Facebook: The Missing
Manual gives you a crystal clear
and entertaining look at
everything this fascinating Facebook phenomenon has to
offer.
Teeming with high-quality color graphics, each page in this
Missing Manual is uniquely designed to help you with
specific Facebook tasks, such as signing up, networking,
shopping, joining groups, finding or filling a job, and a
whole lot more. You'll discover how to create your page and
make connections with other members in no time -- everybody
who went to your school, for example, or those who work at
your company or play on your soccer team. Then, bingo!
Instant access to the personal and professional details of
all the folks you're connected with, the people they're
connected with, and so on, and so on.

in over your head.
